Manchester United ruthlessly punished defensive errors to become the first side to win a league game at Arsenal since January in one of the matches of the season so far.

Antonio Valencia (3) and Lingard (11) got United off to the perfect start, but Arsenal were back in it early in the second half through Alexandre Lacazette (49).

Back came United, who were within an ace of restoring their two-goal lead when Cech made a fine save to deny Lingard, the ball looping back off a post and Arsenal breaking to fashion a chance for Iwobi that De Gea stopped.

Lingard restored United’s two-goal lead (63) before Pogba saw red for a dangerous tackle on Hector Bellerin, which means the France international will miss next Sunday’s derby with Manchester City.

The strikes alsomeant United had scored as many goals in 11 minutes as they had in eight away fixtures against the Premier League’s so-called ‘big six’ clubs.
